Ruben Loftus-Cheek's future remains uncertain but the official Premier League website appears to have confirmed he will rejoin Crystal Palace.

The Chelsea star shone for the Eagles last term, earning himself a place in the World Cup squad with England.

But despite all of that, Maurizio Sarri is far from ready to guarantee him playing time with the Blues.

A late return for pre-season due to his involvement in Russia has meant some of his team-mates gaining a head start in the battle to secure a place in Sarri's squad.

But after returning last week and featuring vs Arsenal in a friendly, Sarri decided to leave him out of the squad for the Community Shield vs Manchester City - preferring Danny Drinkwater on the bench.
